Frequently Asked Questions

What is Concrete Genius Gen‑5?

Concrete Genius Gen‑5 is a mass‑flow, feedback‑controlled platform. Not “volumetric.” We measure and adjust every ingredient in real time for accuracy, traceability, and fewer rejected loads.

Is Gen‑5 a volumetric system?

No. Gen‑5 is a continuous, mass‑flow platform. We digitally measure the mass flow of cement, water, and admixtures, compare to target, and auto‑correct in real time. Volumetric systems infer flow from volume; we measure mass directly for tighter tolerances.

How do you measure and control ingredients?
  • Mass‑flow sensors across ingredients (not just volume estimates).
  • Closed‑loop control: measure → compare → adjust every second.
  • Digital measurement of all ingredients + audit logs.
  • Calibration workflow that locks in accuracy and is easy to verify.
How much data do you capture during a pour?

We log data every second and by 1‑gallon increments. For context:

  • ~7 m³ (one drum): ~14 data points (batch). Gen‑5: ~1,700 one‑gal batches ≈ 42,000 data points.
  • 45 m³ (≈6 drums): 85 points (batch). Gen‑5: ~11,000 one‑gal batches ≈ 252,000 points.
  • 550 m³ (≈79 drums): 1,100 points (batch). Gen‑5: ~138,000 one‑gal batches ≈ 3.3M points.

Bottom line: orders of magnitude more data for QC, owners, and agencies.

How is mass‑flow calculated?

We calculate ingredient flow by mass using: M = ρ × A × v × Cv (density × area × velocity × volume concentration). Measuring mass (not just volume) tightens control of cement content and w/c ratio.

How fast does the system correct deviations?

Gen‑5 runs closed‑loop feedback: it detects deviation and auto‑corrects dosing within seconds—no “chasing the mix.”

How many admixtures can be used?

Four admixtures are standard; upgradeable to six. Low/high‑flow options, individually metered and logged per second.

Is there a winter package?

Yes. Our winter package protects lines and components from freezing so dosing remains in tolerance.

Do you provide digital batch records?

Digital batch records per pour with second‑by‑second traces for cement, water, admixtures, and yield—ready for owners, DOTs, EPCs, and internal audits.

Does Concrete CloudOps™ support remote viewing and control?

Yes. Concrete CloudOps™ supports secure remote viewing/control, geo‑fencing, mix design governance, alerts, and fleet‑level transparency.

What are the key advantages?
  • Continuous production without batch stops.
  • Consistent proportioning of all ingredients.
  • Digital measurement + feedback control for accuracy.
  • Remote data acquisition, logging, retrieval.
  • Digital batch record over the entire pour.
  • Mix design security, role‑based access, geo‑fencing.
  • Error identification, instant notifications, and transparent audit trails.
How do I buy a system?

Outright purchase with assisted deployment and operator/QC training. Ask about lead times and current financing partners.

What support do you provide after purchase?

Remote diagnostics, parts availability, field service, and ongoing training. We stay engaged so you hit spec and schedule.
